The Silk Train - Paperback

by Steve McAfee (Illustrator), Frances Patton Statham (Author)

Through mountain wilderness and vast prairies, the Silk Train carried her to a new life... The Northern Pacific train, with its valuable cargo of raw silk, was a magnet for train robbers. And when it came under attack by outlaws, one of its passengers, noblewoman Anya Fodorsky, made a desperate decision. Anya's traveling companion, a gentle schoolmarm, had been killed, and Anya switched their clothes and identities.

Settled in the Dakota Territory boomtown of Medora, "Sarah" thought she'd found the perfect refuge- until Matt, himself, came too close to unraveling her secrets. There were dangers here on the frontier-and the laws of survival were harsh. But Anya discovered a golden paradise, where romantic dreams were as boundless as the distant plain...
